If VB can't handle that then it probably can't handle unicode. You can't just convert a file from text to binary and expect it to work seamlessly. Basically if you do that make sure that you clean out all your sandboxes and checkout from scratch again with the new binary version, and never attempt to access the text versions, otherwise you'll get undefined behaviour, because the client might attempt merging and produce garbage. The trace you're seeing is because it's trying to do a text merge on a binary file, which simply can't work. That's why you have to delete all your existing copies and start again.. updating won't work. Tony
